Grand Morocco Vacation

Welcome to Morocco! Once you land in Casablanca, your private driver will be right in the airport waiting for you to drive you to the hotel in Rabat. It will take about 1 hour on the road.

This morning, you will enjoy a private guided city tour of Rabat to discover the charm of Morocco’s capital. Highlights include the 12th-century Kasbah of the Udayas, Hassan Tower, the Mausoleum of Mohammed V, and the Royal Palace of Rabat.

Continue to Tangier on a scenic 3-hour drive. There, you will admire the stunning views from Cape Spartel, the northwesternmost point of mainland Africa. Later, visit the famous Hercules Caves and the Kasbah Museum.

Before arriving at today's final stop, Grand Socco, you will stroll through the medina, where you can find the tomb of Ibn Battuta.

Today, you will head to the photogenic blue city of Chefchaouen, about two hours away from Rabat.

Then, you can explore this quiet town at your own pace. Walking through its blue-washed streets, visit the Outa el-Hammam Square or have dinner with the sunset in a rooftop restaurant.

Journey on to visit the ancient Roman ruins of Volubilis. Wander the expansive complex to marvel at the massive columns, restored buildings, and colorful mosaics. Stop for a break at the nearby holy city of Moulay Idriss, then move on to Fez for the night.

Following your private local guide, passing through the iconic Blue Gate, enter the medieval-style Fez Medina. Strolling through its maze-like alleys, you'll check out the highlights like the Chouara Tannery, the Al-Attarine Madrasa, the Souk Nejjarine, and Mellah (old Jewish Quarter).

Head into the Sahara Desert through a 7-hour drive with the changing landscape of the Middle Atlas along the way.

Upon arrival at Erfoud, take a 4x4 vehicle to your camp inside the desert. Then, have fun with a camel ride, try sandboarding, and take in the breathtaking view of the golden sands at sunset. As the night falls, sitting around the campfire with traditional Berber music, soak up the starry desert.

Rise early to take in the breathtaking desert sunrise if you wish. After breakfast, ride a 4x4 back to Erfoud, where you'll change into the private vehicle for the road trip to Skoura (about 4.5 hours by road).

En route, the Todra Gorge will take up a lot of memory on your camera with its dramatic canyon walls rising over 400 meters.

Upon arrival in Skoura, check into your hotel and enjoy the peaceful desert oasis.

Set off for the UNESCO-listed Ait Ben Haddou, which seems frozen in the days of the 11th century. You will enjoy the great example of Moroccan earthen clay architecture here.

Continue north to visit the Kasbah Telouet, including the abandoned Palace of Glaoui. After the exploration, it's a three-hour drive to Marrakech.

Take a day excursion from Marrakech to the High Atlas today. Your mountain guide will meet you in Imlil, a small village nestled in the foothills of Mount Toubkal (the highest peak in Morocco).

There, you will ride a mule through Berber villages to experience their authentic way of life, followed by a short walk in the valley before returning to Marrakech.

Discover the highlights of Marrakech on a 4-hour private guided tour today. Begin with an exterior view of the 12th-century Koutoubia Mosque, whose iconic minaret dominates the city skyline.

This morning, you will head to Essaouira, a beautiful seaside town on the west coast of Morocco facing the Atlantic Ocean.

Arrive about 2.5 hours later and take the rest of the day free at leisure. You can browse colorful handmade crafts in its souks and then kill time in a café on the corner of a street.

Today is free for you to explore on your own. Take in the medieval ambiance at the fortified ramparts of the old Medina, or enjoy the sandy coastline on foot or by horse.

It's another day at your disposal.

The Fishing Port in Essaouira is a place you won't miss. Besides viewing the fishers making business and the iconic blue boats at the port, you can taste the fresh seafood or buy souvenirs from the lively stands along the way to the port.
